Detailed Review
Sablono is a Berlin platform for tracking construction progress at the level of individual activities across thousands of repeating units: every flat, every room, every element, and what stage each one has reached.
What Makes Sablono Stand Out
Sablono answers the question large repetitive projects cannot otherwise answer honestly: what percentage is genuinely complete. Because progress is recorded per activity per unit, the commercial reporting and the payment applications are built on observed status rather than on a subcontractor's estimate.
What the Platform Covers
Activity-level progress tracking across large numbers of repeating units, lean and last-planner workflows, quality checklists tied to progress, and commercial reporting linking completion to valuation and payment.
European Practice and Jurisdiction
Sablono is based in Berlin with European hosting. Progress data is directly commercially sensitive — it is the basis for payment applications and delay claims — which is a reason to keep it under a familiar legal system.
Construction software holds evidence. Site diaries, defect records and progress data are what a liability dispute or a payment claim is argued from years later, and the format a European client or court expects is not the format an American product produces by default.
Pricing
Subscribed per project rather than per seat, which suits a model where hundreds of site people need access for the duration of a build and none afterwards.
Sablono vs Procore and the US Platforms
Against Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, spreadsheets, the European case is fit rather than scale. Documentation obligations, tender practice and handover expectations differ by country, and a platform built inside those conventions produces output that is accepted rather than output that then has to be rewritten.
Who Should Use Sablono
Sablono fits contractors on large repetitive projects — residential blocks, student housing, fit-out, rail — where percentage complete is the number everyone argues about.

Sablono is a European alternative to Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, spreadsheets, built around European documentation and tender practice rather than adapted to it.
Offline capability is the first thing to test in this category, because half a building has no signal in it. PlanRadar and BulldozAIR are both built for capture without a connection and sync afterwards. Whatever you shortlist, trial it in a basement rather than in the office.
Sablono is built as a European alternative to Procore: Progress and commercial control on repetitive projects. It will not be a like-for-like feature match in every respect, so check the review above for where the two genuinely differ before switching.
